Autumns Life and Death
The tickling of a gentle breeze
Has detached my leafless leaves
Floating down into only a memory
Remembering the light rains
While the sun warms my crisp body
Then coloring all my other friends
Browns and yellows then reds
Almost all the colors of a rainbow
landing upon another all cuddled together
A sharp wind came blowing them all away
Scattering them among the roots of trees
I feel footsteps approaching
Crushing my outer wings flattening them
No longer able to float down to the ground
Now left dying and lifeless waiting for
To be placed,
Back into the ground
